fortified at every part. The attack-ing
force of Russians consisted of the 9th

brigade of the 2nd division, under Prince
Sohaskosky, witn three brigades of cay-airy
and one hundred and sixty guns, The
battle commenced at 9 o’clock Monday.
The Russians carried their lines of defer)-
ces towards the close of the day and got a
foothold in Pleonlt itself, but finally lost

New York, August 2.—Jay Gould was
this morning acoosted by Muj J. A. Selo-ver,
a friend of Jim Keene, while parsing
through the F.xchango Place. Words were
exchanged, when Maj. Selever stiuck
Gould one or two blows on side of the
head, and then picking him up threw him
down a stair-way, a distance of eight feet.
Mr. Gould was rescued by some friends and
was found uninjured, with the exception
of a few slight bruises. He wa6 able to
walk to his office. The trouble i3 said to
have originated from Gould having betrayed
a combination-to put up the price of Lake

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
The Editor of llie New Orleaus Be in-ocrat
lu Wa.luneton—He Inter-view,
tile President,
Washington, JAugust 2.—Major Hearsey,
editor of the New Orleans Democrat, who
is on a brief visit to this city, called on
Secretaries Key and Schurz, and subse-quently,
with Secretary Key, called on
the President. Major Hearsey expresses
himself much gratified with the courteous
reception extended him, and with the yery
kindly sentiments expressed by the Presi-dent
towards the Soutb. He thinks indeed
that it is the earnest purpose of the Presi-dent
to be the executive of the south as'
well as of the other seation of the Union
In thc| course o, the conversation, Mr.
Hayes expressed his gratification at the
peaceful attitude of the South during the
great riots, and remarked pleasantly that
the two most antagonistic sections of the
country, New England and the South,
were, during the excitement and conflict,
the most (tranquil. The President also ex-pressed
the hope that he would he able to
visit New Orleans during the holiday vaca-tion
of Congress, and was assured by the
editor of the D rmoerat that he would be
cordially welcomed by the people, not only
of New Orleans but of the whole State.
Major Hearsey referred to the recent postal
convention at Old Point Comfort, and the
kindly expressions of the President, agd J
also of the Postmaster General in reference
there to impress him that every reasonable
effort will be made by the administration to
furnish to the Southern States adequate
postal service. To a party of gentlemen
Major Hearsey stated that nine-tenths of
the White people of Louisiana endorsed the
prosecution ol the Returning Board, and
would insist upon conducting the proseeffi
tisn vigorously. Of the conclusion at the
same time, he said there was latterly no op-position
to Mr, Hayes in Louisiana, and
that .no considerable body of the people
could be organized -.to support or approve
any revolutionary process to disturb him
or question his title to the Presidency,

Grimes Co., July 28th. j
Finding that we could not bring your rea-ders
further ihan Hockley In our last
communication without making the same
too lengthy, we dropped off at that point,
A few miles east of the village, situated
In a flat prairie, the almost sudden t:ansP
tion to a dense forest of pine and post-oak
is noticed. Numerous saw mills have been
erected and the people who dwell here are
chiefly engaged in the lumber business
The soil is generally poor and we find but
few farms. We stopped for a night at ths
house of Charlie and Sam Amsler, gentle-men
ef Swiss descent, but natives of Texas.
They own a large body of land and a flue
saw mill. They have built up a pleas-ant
home in the wilderness, an, a post-of
flee which is to be established here at an
early day is to be called Prinmoii City,
it being on the prismoidal railway from
Hempstead to Willis. Wont was suspen-ded,
over a year ago on this road, but many
people aloDg the route believe that It will
bo built, just wben, they can’t say.
The Messrs Amsler are making successful
experiments in grape culture aud have in
their vineyard several varieties of grapes
ripening, which are of the finest flavor and
present no evidences'of a tendency to rot,
while the vines are of luxuriant and healthy
growth. Those gentlemen believe that
wine making can he made profitable on
these sandy pine lands. They contemplate
bringing Swiss emigrants to this place for
the purpose of cstabiishiog a colony to en-gage
in grape culture Our next objeciive
point is Montgomery, the county site of the
old : settled county of Montgomery. We
find here a dilapitated village, inhabited by
clever people, who present little evidences
of thrift. This place has for several years
been trembling for its existence because ot
the desire of many people to remove the
county site to Willis, [a bright young town
on the Great Northern Rail Road. A vote
on the question of removal, and a contest in
the courts have engendered much hitter
feeling among the peoplo of both places
and still a final settlement has not been
reached.
* Cheops to Montgomery county are repot
ted to-be very good, but here; as .risewaera,
tho cotton worm is doing some damage.
The grangers are liy el y and active In Monf-gomery
and thoir mettlngs are well attea-^
ded. A goodly number of them were pres-ent
to hear the address ot the Worthy
Master.
At NewjMaveriy, iu Walker county, there
vraa on the 27th Inst, one of the best meet-tugs
that we have attended in our travels.
A heavy rain in the early morning Lnterfer
ed somewhat with the arrangaments, but
did not dampen the arior and enthusiasm
of the many grangers of this neighborhood.
The order is In fine condition in Walker
and the members speak enthusiastically
of its pleasures and advantages. After
the address everybody w'as inyited to par-take
of a grange basket dinner, which was
served in plc-uie style and enjoyed by the
hungry masses.
While .he older head** were listening to a
lecture on the unwritten woik of the
grange,the younger ones gathered at a con-veuient
place and amused themseHes In
danciog.
“With a eiieei a-fid a bound
The lads pattered the ground,
While the maids moved around
Just like swans on the ocean.”
The country about New W averly is of the
piney v?oods kind with streaks of black
l-fidou which g'O.'. crops are produced.
Hundreds of people from the old States
who could not make up their minds to try
tin prattles further west hive established
comfortable homes in these forests, where
they claim they ei joy advantages not offir
ed by a tirubt-rlesi country.
A very hot drive brings us to Prairie
Plains, in Grimes County, where we find
three or four hundred people already par-takiug
of a wonderfully good dinner. Some
confusion is apparent on account of a
threatening rain cloud and a period seems
likely to be put to the pleasures of this
day. Fortunately, the oloud passes around
and the address of the Worthy Master is
delivered. The members of Prairie Plains
and Oakland granges ere delighted with
the pleasures of the occasion and spare
no pains to mak ef heir visitors feel at home.
The country hereabouts consists of post
oak,prairie and timberless skirts, and is
mostly level. The people are intelligent
and progressive and seem to be contented
and happy in what may be termed a good
average country.
The crops about this place are good,
and fine rains have fallen. The cotton
worm has done but little damnge so far,
but the farmers fear that the crop will be
cut short, if tne showers of rain continue.
The corn crop is the largest ever raised in
this section and the price next autumn will
perhaps, bo lower than it ever was before,
Altogether. Prairie Plains is a delightful
neighborhood, and a first visit to it is sure
to create a desire to make a second one.

Remedy
Power.
Asciii of Uncommon
It Is a fact which became patent years ago
to the [people of the United States, that
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is a remedial
agent of uncommon power. As a conse-quence
of this recognition, its sales
have increased immensely at home and
abroad, and it has risen to a foremost rank
among the proprietary medicines of the
day. Chemical analysts, after submitting
It to the closest scrutiny, pronounce it ab-solute’y
pure, and skilful and conscientious
medical practitioners recommend its use.
A wide range of disorders falls within the
scope of its curative operation. Among
them may he enumerated dyspepsia, liver
complaint, constipation, nervous ailments,
urinary and uterine, affections, rheumatism
and gout. It is a supremely efficacious ton •
lc, hastens convalescence, cheers the mind,
iImmppaarrtts appetite, and promotes sound
sleep. julj31d&wlw
False Impression: .
It is generally supposed by physicians and
tlie pleple generally that Dyspepsia cannot
invariably be cured, but we are pleased to
say that Green’s August. Flower has never,
to our knowledge, failed to cure Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint in all its forms, such as
Sour Stomach. Costiveness, Sick Headache,
Palpitation of the Heart, Indigestion, bad
taste in the month, etc. Out of the 50,000
dozen bottles sold last, year, not a single
failure was reported, but. thousands of com

of wonderful cures. Three doses will re
lieve any case. Try it. Sample bottles 10

fortified at every part. The attack-ing
force of Russians consisted of the 9th
army corps, under Gen. Krudener, the 80th
brigade of the 2nd division, under Prince
Sohaskosky, witn three brigades of cay-airy
and one hundred and sixty guns, The
battle commenced at 9 o’clock Monday.
The Russians carried their lines of defer)-
ces towards the close of the day and got a
foothold in Pleonlt itself, but finally lost

New York, August 2.—Jay Gould was
this morning acoosted by Muj J. A. Selo-ver,
a friend of Jim Keene, while parsing
through the F.xchango Place. Words were
exchanged, when Maj. Selever stiuck
Gould one or two blows on side of the
head, and then picking him up threw him
down a stair-way, a distance of eight feet.
Mr. Gould was rescued by some friends and
was found uninjured, with the exception
of a few slight bruises. He wa6 able to
walk to his office. The trouble i3 said to
have originated from Gould having betrayed
a combination-to put up the price of Lake

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
The Editor of llie New Orleaus Be in-ocrat
lu Wa.luneton—He Inter-view,
tile President,
Washington, JAugust 2.—Major Hearsey,
editor of the New Orleans Democrat, who
is on a brief visit to this city, called on
Secretaries Key and Schurz, and subse-quently,
with Secretary Key, called on
the President. Major Hearsey expresses
himself much gratified with the courteous
reception extended him, and with the yery
kindly sentiments expressed by the Presi-dent
towards the Soutb. He thinks indeed
that it is the earnest purpose of the Presi-dent
to be the executive of the south as'
well as of the other seation of the Union
In thc| course o, the conversation, Mr.
Hayes expressed his gratification at the
peaceful attitude of the South during the
great riots, and remarked pleasantly that
the two most antagonistic sections of the
country, New England and the South,
were, during the excitement and conflict,
the most (tranquil. The President also ex-pressed
the hope that he would he able to
visit New Orleans during the holiday vaca-tion
of Congress, and was assured by the
editor of the D rmoerat that he would be
cordially welcomed by the people, not only
of New Orleans but of the whole State.
Major Hearsey referred to the recent postal
convention at Old Point Comfort, and the
kindly expressions of the President, agd J
also of the Postmaster General in reference
there to impress him that every reasonable
effort will be made by the administration to
furnish to the Southern States adequate
postal service. To a party of gentlemen
Major Hearsey stated that nine-tenths of
the White people of Louisiana endorsed the
prosecution ol the Returning Board, and
would insist upon conducting the proseeffi
tisn vigorously. Of the conclusion at the
same time, he said there was latterly no op-position
to Mr, Hayes in Louisiana, and
that .no considerable body of the people
could be organized -.to support or approve
any revolutionary process to disturb him
or question his title to the Presidency,

Grimes Co., July 28th. j
Finding that we could not bring your rea-ders
further ihan Hockley In our last
communication without making the same
too lengthy, we dropped off at that point,
A few miles east of the village, situated
In a flat prairie, the almost sudden t:ansP
tion to a dense forest of pine and post-oak
is noticed. Numerous saw mills have been
erected and the people who dwell here are
chiefly engaged in the lumber business
The soil is generally poor and we find but
few farms. We stopped for a night at ths
house of Charlie and Sam Amsler, gentle-men
ef Swiss descent, but natives of Texas.
They own a large body of land and a flue
saw mill. They have built up a pleas-ant
home in the wilderness, an, a post-of
flee which is to be established here at an
early day is to be called Prinmoii City,
it being on the prismoidal railway from
Hempstead to Willis. Wont was suspen-ded,
over a year ago on this road, but many
people aloDg the route believe that It will
bo built, just wben, they can’t say.
The Messrs Amsler are making successful
experiments in grape culture aud have in
their vineyard several varieties of grapes
ripening, which are of the finest flavor and
present no evidences'of a tendency to rot,
while the vines are of luxuriant and healthy
growth. Those gentlemen believe that
wine making can he made profitable on
these sandy pine lands. They contemplate
bringing Swiss emigrants to this place for
the purpose of cstabiishiog a colony to en-gage
in grape culture Our next objeciive
point is Montgomery, the county site of the
old : settled county of Montgomery. We
find here a dilapitated village, inhabited by
clever people, who present little evidences
of thrift. This place has for several years
been trembling for its existence because ot
the desire of many people to remove the
county site to Willis, [a bright young town
on the Great Northern Rail Road. A vote
on the question of removal, and a contest in
the courts have engendered much hitter
feeling among the peoplo of both places
and still a final settlement has not been
reached.
* Cheops to Montgomery county are repot
ted to-be very good, but here; as .risewaera,
tho cotton worm is doing some damage.
The grangers are liy el y and active In Monf-gomery
and thoir mettlngs are well attea-^
ded. A goodly number of them were pres-ent
to hear the address ot the Worthy
Master.
At NewjMaveriy, iu Walker county, there
vraa on the 27th Inst, one of the best meet-tugs
that we have attended in our travels.
A heavy rain in the early morning Lnterfer
ed somewhat with the arrangaments, but
did not dampen the arior and enthusiasm
of the many grangers of this neighborhood.
The order is In fine condition in Walker
and the members speak enthusiastically
of its pleasures and advantages. After
the address everybody w'as inyited to par-take
of a grange basket dinner, which was
served in plc-uie style and enjoyed by the
hungry masses.
While .he older head** were listening to a
lecture on the unwritten woik of the
grange,the younger ones gathered at a con-veuient
place and amused themseHes In
danciog.
“With a eiieei a-fid a bound
The lads pattered the ground,
While the maids moved around
Just like swans on the ocean.”
The country about New W averly is of the
piney v?oods kind with streaks of black
l-fidou which g'O.'. crops are produced.
Hundreds of people from the old States

A very hot drive brings us to Prairie
Plains, in Grimes County, where we find
three or four hundred people already par-takiug
of a wonderfully good dinner. Some
confusion is apparent on account of a
threatening rain cloud and a period seems
likely to be put to the pleasures of this
day. Fortunately, the oloud passes around
and the address of the Worthy Master is
delivered. The members of Prairie Plains
and Oakland granges ere delighted with
the pleasures of the occasion and spare
no pains to mak ef heir visitors feel at home.
The country hereabouts consists of post
oak,prairie and timberless skirts, and is
mostly level. The people are intelligent
and progressive and seem to be contented
and happy in what may be termed a good
average country.
The crops about this place are good,
and fine rains have fallen. The cotton
worm has done but little damnge so far,
but the farmers fear that the crop will be
cut short, if tne showers of rain continue.
The corn crop is the largest ever raised in
this section and the price next autumn will
perhaps, bo lower than it ever was before,
Altogether. Prairie Plains is a delightful
neighborhood, and a first visit to it is sure
to create a desire to make a second one.

medical practitioners recommend its use.
A wide range of disorders falls within the
scope of its curative operation. Among
